Is History by Date safe?

Clean risk

History by Date sends visited domains to those sites when it loads favicons for history entries in its action page.

When you open the extension's history view, it reads browser history for the selected date, up to 5,000 entries. For each entry it derives the visited domain and displays an image loaded from https://<domain>/favicon.ico, which causes those sites to receive favicon requests tied to the listed history entries.
